ADVANCED GPS NAVIGATION
Your Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird fish finder communicate with each other to change the way you fish. Advanced GPS
Navigation offers a large array of features including controlling speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and the ability to record and retrace tracks on
the water, all at your fingertips. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your new motor, please refer to the Advanced GPS
Navigation Owner's Manual by visiting minnkotamotors.com.
The wireless remote and GPS controller make up the Advanced GPS Navigation system. A wireless remote comes paired to the controller
from the factory. The GPS controller contains a very sensitive compass and is where all GPS satellite and remote signals are received. The
GPS controller is located in the trolling motor Control Head and may be connected to a fish finder from an Accessory Cable that exits the
Control Head. If the Advanced GPS Navigation system will be used with a fish finder, the Ethernet link between the trolling motor and the
fish finder must be connected.
Considerations for Connecting and Routing Advanced GPS Navigation
If Advanced GPS Navigation is pre-installed on your trolling motor, one eight pin Advanced GPS Ethernet Connector will exit the base of
the Control Head and rest just below the Control Head next to the Coil Cord and one Advanced GPS Cable will exit the base of the Control
Head and run down the center of the Coil Cord. The Advanced GPS Cable will come to a "Y" near the Mount of the trolling motor. One half
of the "Y" will enter the Mount next to the Power Leads and the main portion of the cable will be attached from the factory to the Foot
Pedal Power Connector. The Advanced GPS Cable that comes to a "Y" near the mount is pre-installed and should be left in place. If a
trolling motor is equipped with Advanced GPS Navigation, it will not be equipped with a Foot Pedal. If the Advanced GPS Navigation on the
trolling motor will be used with a fish finder, an Ethernet Cable will need to be attached to the Advanced GPS Ethernet Connector below the
Control Head. Consider the distance between the trolling motor and the fish finder to determine how to complete the Ethernet connection.
ETHERNET CABLES - Minn Kota provides one 30 ft Ethernet cable
equipped with Advanced GPS Navigation. The 30 ft Ethernet cable will accommodate a standard Ethernet connection for most installations
to a Humminbird fish finder and is "Apex and Solix Ready". If the distance between the trolling motor and Humminbird fish finder is relatively
small and a shorter cable is preferred, alternate cable lengths are available from humminbird.com. These options include:
• 10 ft - (AS EC 10E - 10' Ethernet Cable -
• 15 ft - (AS EC 15E - 15' Ethernet Cable -
• 20 ft - (AS EC 20E - 20' Ethernet Cable -
Every length of Ethernet cable plugs directly into a Solix or Apex or directly into a Helix Adapter Cable.
HUMMINBIRD HELIX ADAPTER CABLES

trolling motor and any Humminbird
the Ethernet Cable to a Helix fish finder.
ETHERNET EXTENSION CABLES
enough to reach the fish finder, an Ethernet Extension cable should be used. The Ethernet Extension cable is available from
and is available in a 30 ft length
into any length of Ethernet cable.
NOTICE: Minn Kota recommends routing the Ethernet Cable or Ethernet Extension Cable through the Coil Cord when making the
Ethernet connection. The cables will be installed from the Mount to the Control Head through the Coil Cord and parallel to the
Advanced GPS Cable. Bypassing the Coil Cord when routing the Ethernet Cable or Ethernet Extension Cable is not recommended.
